          In the US, contracts are routinely deemed unenforcable by courts for being overly broad. A contract with an indefinite duration frequently falls under that category.

              The contract is forced on you in order to obtain employment when there is very unequal bargaining power. It’s also a contract that’s largely deemed illegal in actual courts. He disclosed information that is no longer business relevant and instead just an object of historical interest at this point.

              I suppose if you were forced to sign a non-compete to work for a fast food restaurant that you’d also honor that and not work for any other fast food restaurants if you had to quit?

      Except he wasn’t putting them in a negative light, he was just putting them in a human light, nothing was really negative. It was probably an emotional response from an OG’s ego over in Rockstar North, and egos being what they are, there was probably little in regards to being able to reconcile it after the complaints were made.
